Abstract

The significance of the friendship between Tagawa and Sunaga in this novel is no more than the strategy of letting Tagawa gain contact with the Sunaga family, to cause some turbulance in Tagawa's life, while shifting the narrative focus from the stories concerning Tagawa to those concerning the Sunagas. The fundamental non-relation between Tagawa and Sunaga is analogous to the essential lack of relation between their narrative worlds. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the antithetical relation between the two distinctive groups of stories respectively concerning Tagawa and Sunaga, and, through this to discern an organic coherence in the chain of discrete short stories.
